“Whatever the results of the referendum may be, it will be a turning
point in our history”, leader of the Heritage party Raffi Hovhannisian
said during the briefing with the journalists.

Two weeks ago the Heritage party had made an announcement about the
constitutional referendum. After that the Forum of Intellectuals
decided to unite the opposition, but the Heritage did not sign under
the joint announcement about the referendum. Why?

“We want our style to be different”, said Raffi Hovhannisian and
added that on Sunday Heritage will start its regional visits, during
which the party will refer to issues not only about the referendum,
but also about other problems. “As for the cooperation, no agreement
has been reached”, Raffi Hovhannisyan said.

And what has the party done in the margins of the transformational
process announced? “Transformation is not an achievement, it is a
process which will allow us to be able to compete with the civilized
world, which we are not now”, Raffi Hovhannisian said.

By the way, as for the information about Heritage creating a bloc
together with the Republican party, Raffi Hovhannisian announced,
“We have never negotiated about forming a bloc”.
